That should make just specifying "-p" work. It is untested but "obvious". Could you try this out?

There already is a UID in the name of the directory where the named pipe resides. I intend to allow a second name pipe in that dir that depends on the Emacs PID. That should allow multiple gnuservs with Unix domain type connections.
